Biscuits Tres Chocolat

It was worth buying the book just for this recipe. Very dark chocolatey, salty, crunchy cookies.

By Jay Solomon

Anything is good with peanut sauce, but it is even better with noodles and broccoli. Easy to make and contains no obscure, hard-to-find ingredients.

Tangy lemon ice cream that you don't need an ice cream maker for. It's wonderful!

How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking

By Nigella Lawson
Hyperion - 2001

This recipe is great - one of the rare things I've made that looks exactly like the picture in the book! Easy to make and it has great flavour. It can also be fed to wheat/gluten-free people safely.

Rapid roastini

These were very good and I only used supermarket non-chiled gnocchi. I pan-fried them in butter and ate them with peas and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Yummy!

Kingstons - only better! Chewier than the "real" thing, and the filling is even better.

South Indian Cabbage

This is one of those recipes which is more than a sum of its parts. There are only a few ingredients, but it is very tasty. It's a great favourite at my house.

A quick, easy and tasty recipe which is perfect for when artichokes are in season. Not sure about "Serves 2-3" as I've been known to scoff the lot by myself!

Can I give this 6 stars? This is my all-time favourite artichoke recipe. That said, I never add the wine or tomatoes. It is wonderful served with fettuccine or tagliatelle with some freshly grated parmesan on top.

Have been making this recipe for years, but never bother to blend it - it's good chunky! Quick and easy to make, and I always double it (you really do want leftovers).

Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Sundae

It is worth buying this book for this recipe alone. It is quick, easy and contains two of my favourite ingredients. You can just use vanilla ice cream and it is wonderful.

Two notes:
-the salted peanuts on top make a big difference so don't omit them
-despite being a dark chocolate person, this really is much better made with milk choocolate. Nigella knows what she is talking about!

I'd never heard of such a thing, but it's worth trying. An unusual but fantastic combination of flavours.

Quickj, easy and filling. This soup is great in winter.

If you grow marjoram you must try this recipe. It's another of the fabulously simple, but amazing-tasting recipes that Italians are so good at.
